Title: Lyre bird
Post by: emmy1978 on July 18, 2007, 11:17:48
I am sure most of you have seen this already on the Attenborough documentary but for those that haven't - it's amazing and for those that have it's well worth another look!!

Fabulous! I'm just a bit worried about how he's going to attract a lady lyre bird though. She could get confused by all that other stuff. ;)
